Back in A&E :(

Oh Gawd, hormones

Cheyenne is very clumsy and she's aways doing sommat, grazed her back today clearing out her old Wendy House (conversion to dog shelter). Most plates get chipped and things get broken. It's dangerous to be close when she's throwing a ball too

[SarzWix]

Sarah glad to her you've not done more damage, can relate to the floor not being where its supposed to be, have hypermobility too as has Stacey, she's terrrible at the mo for walking into thing, the doorframes keep moving lol! Had a bad day at work yesterday caught my arm on the gatepost, my hand on a letterbox and banged my leg getting in to the car was really tired though just a few more bruises to ad to the collection!
A quick question do you know if low blood pressure is part of the hypermobility, Stacey has complained a couple of occasions of feeling faint I had this as well in my teens and early twenties and it was due to blood pressure was just wandering if it was connected or just hormones?

I think it's an HMS thing Sylvia, some get it really bad, I think it's called POTS, (Post something or other Tachycardia something.... hmmmm. maybe not very helpful!). Tell her to slow down, it's always worse when you leap up
That link in my signature has some great information, and the forum is nearly as nice as this one

Thanks Sarah will check it out!

[MrsC]

Glad you didn't have to have another cast, take it easy! x

[allotmentlady]

Shocked when I first heard!!!! Hope your getting on the mend now, YOU must rest and take it easy, your worse than me lol......xxxxxxxxx

[Herbie]

OMG - Just read through the post glad to hear you are ok, hope its not giving you any pain xx

[piskieinboots]

ooh gawd!! I just got in here and saw the title!! then read that things aren't as bad as I feared - phew!

((hugs)))

....And because I've gone so long not using this foot, my brain reeeeally doesn't know where it is...

how about wearing these - that'll help

[SlugLobber]

Aw, Sarz, didn't realise you had HMS to contend with. I also understand about proprioception, because of horses, believe it or not! Don't think we covered it in A level Psychology, but I was maybe sleeping!

Hope your foot is in much less pain this morning. Have virtual hug. ((())).

[SarzWix]

Thanks Piskie I'd look fab in those, they're probably as long as I am tall

Does anyone have any experience of ankle braces? I've been looking at them on eBay, some of them are really, really expensive, some very cheap, but I haven't a clue what's good and what's not...

[Nicos]

It might be worth asking the physio what's the best one to get.
There's more choice available in the private sector of course.
Might be worth seeing a sports rehab person who is very experienced in the selection available????

[SarzWix]

Yeah, you're right I suppose Nicos, the physios will know. Just not sure how long I'll have to wait to see them!
I'm going to try strapping it with a crepe bandage and see if that helps. I can't relax at the moment because any movement is hurting, so I'm making myself ache trying to hold it still!

[sweetiepea]

Glad to hear things aren't so bad. Take care.

[Rhona]

Sarah, just seen this. So sorry you poor thing. Hope you're feeling ok and not too blue. You don't deserve this! Just think of all the good things that must be around the corner to make up for all your setbacks. I'd send a virtual hug too, but there are so many people virtually-hugging you at the moment, that I'd just be at the back of the crowd, not able to reach. So I'll blow you a virtual kiss instead! x

[SarzWix]

Thanks Rhona and sweetiepea.
I think I'd have won the lottery on Saturday, if I hadn't done a bargain with Him upstairs... "I don't mind not winning the lottery as long as I haven't got to have another pinning operation"....

[HeyWayne]

At first I saw this thread, but ignored it thinking it was the last time. Didn't realise again actually mean again!

Blimey lady, no wonder you're feeling a bit down. Glad you don't have to have another cast - but I'm sure you're even more pleased about that. I'm guessing none of the sports supports are any good for you?

Oh, and piskie - I'm sure I read somewhere that clown shoes are now to be banned on health & safety grounds...
